Warner Bros' "Tarzan" Will Hit Theatres on July 1, 2016

Warner Bros' "Tarzan", featuring Alexander Skarsgard as the hero, will open in theatres July 1, 2016.

Skarsgard will play the loinclothed hero and "The Wolf of Wall Street" actress Margot Robbie has been linked to the role of Tarzan's love interest, Jane, in the film adaptation of Edgar Rice's classic novel, reports deadline.com.

"Django Unchained" co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz will also star in the film.

Meanwhile, Jerry Weintraub, David Barron and Alan Riche are on board to produce the 3D live-action film which is currently in pre-production after the studio delayed the project last year.

The film will revisit the tale of Tarzan, who returns to London as a man having been orphaned as a baby and raised in the jungle by apes.

The new adaptation is likely to offer a new spin on the story.(IANS)

I've mentioned it several times before, but today Warner Bros. officially announced a new adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's "Tarzan" with Alexander Skarsgard in the title role, The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie as Jane Porter, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz.

David Yates (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Part 2 and others) will direct Tarzan for a July 1, 2016 release in 3D. Previous reports have listed Stephen Sommers and Stuart Beattie (I, Frankenstein) as screenwriters, but Warners' official press release didn't make mention of any screenwriters so maybe that's still up for debate.

The film will center on John Clayton III (Skarsgard), known around the world as the famous "ape man" Tarzan. Years after he's re-assimilated into London society, he's asked by Queen Victoria to investigate the goings-on in the Congo. Tarzan teams with an ex-mercenary named George Washington Williams (Jackson) to save the Congo from a fierce warlord who controls a massive diamond mine. (Google Search)
